He had a good partnership with Rio, but he also supported Cristiano Ronaldo. Rafael has told about how he used to shout at Ronaldo who later became a superstar. Rafael told ESPN, "Of all the defenders I've played with, Rio is the best. He was also a great leader. It is important for me to be the leader of the centre back."

He said, "Ronaldo is one of the best players when I came to Manchester United. I saw Rio shouting at Ronaldo, come back, come back." He said, "So a leader is like this, because you have to talk to your best player because he also has to defend because if they don't defend then it will be difficult."
